This describes connects a disk for XCP to store virtual disks. (This will format your disk)
NOT the other way, which is connecting a raw USB disk to 1 Virtual Machine. (no format, Windows can read the existing data if it’s NTFS\/FAT formatted)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
list USB devices:
lsblk | grep -A 3 NAME
or just
lsblk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

xe sr-create name-label=”USB-8Tb” shared=false device-config:device=\/dev\/sdb type=lvm content-type=user<\/p>\n\n\n\n
